  • Summary

  • Are you wondering if being Jewish is more than just an identity? Do you "do" Jewish but have no idea why you do the things that you do? Do you want to know the answers when your children ask questions about their Judaism? If you answered yes to any of the above you have come to the right place. Here we discuss the what and the why of Jewish customs and practices. It's not enough to know what or how, one must also understand the meaning of each practice to grasp their significance. Rabbi Avi Farkas is the director of Ignite757 in Tidewater, the outreach division of the Norfolk Kollel.
